The company said that Kinetica 1 adopts a mature, reliable, multi-satellite launch configuration and precise satellite separation technology, which enables multiple satellites to operate in the same orbit and share launch capacity.
By now, the rocket model has served more than 30 domestic and overseas clients, including six international customers. It has successfully sent over 10 types of satellites and experimental payloads into space, covering low-cost commercial optical remote sensing, quantum communication, space environmental detection, meteorological observation, space computing power, and space situational awareness.
Having delivered a total of 110 satellites to orbit with an overall payload mass exceeding 16 metric tons, Kinetica 1 is the only private rocket model in China that has launched more than 100 satellites.
